SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- AT&T Inc.
T, -1.14%
said Tuesday morning that it will sell the new Lumia 920 Windows Phone from Nokia
NOK, -0.17%
for $99 with a two-year contract. The device -- which is key in Nokia's attempt to recover its smartphone business -- will be available for pre-order on Nov. 9, and will ship shortly thereafter, according to an AT&T spokesman. The pricing puts the Lumia 920 at a sharp discount to competing devices such as the iPhone 5 from Apple
AAPL, -1.53%
and the Galaxy S3 from Samsung. The device is one of a handful to operating on the new Windows Phone 8 mobile operating system from Microsoft
MSFT, -1.81%
which is promoting the platform in close ties with its newly launched Windows 8 OS for PCs and tablets. Nokia's U.S.-listed shares were up fractionally on Tuesday morning.
